Baldinger (patrician family)
Baldinger , also called Baldingen and Balding in documents , is the name of a patrician family from Ulm .
history
The first proven ancestor lived around 1389 and already had the family coat of arms with the greyhound . The eldest of his three sons, named Thomas, held the ducal supreme master wolf hunter in Lower Bavaria . The middle son, Peter, owned the Schweybereut estate, the third son, Hans, sat on the Altweg estate, which he had acquired from his aunt in 1468. Of Peter's descendants, Albrecht Baldinger († 1517) became Chancellor of the Bishop of Regensburg . Emperor Friedrich III granted him and his brothers 1489 a letter of nobility , in which they were confirmed old aristocratic, penal and knightly origin. Albrecht's older son Hans (1502–1575) devoted himself to the clergy, the younger, Sigmund (1510–1558), was an ardent follower of Lutheran teaching, which is why he had to flee Bavaria. He transplanted his family to Swabia and became the progenitor of the patrician line in Ulm, where he had taken refuge in 1529. After the wedding with the Ulm patrician daughter Elisabeth Roth von Holzschwang , he went to Nuremberg and did not return to Ulm until after 16 years in 1545, where he was then accepted by the city's magistrate into the patrician council.

In the 14th century, the Ulm patriciate had to accept a temporary loss of power compared to the guilds. After the repeal of the guild constitution by Emperor Charles V in 1548, however, they were to regain their former rights. In 1544, at the Reichstag in Speyer, Karl, like his great-grandfather Friedrich III., Confirmed the hereditary nobility of the Baldingers .
Sigmund Baldinger's son Sigmund II (1541–1613) donated three capitals to Ulm. From one endowment capital of 1000 guilders the interest should be distributed to the poor or orphans every year, of the other 1000 guilders the interest should support needy theology students, the interest of the third capital of 2000 guilders should be distributed to the poor. Sigmund II's younger brother Albrecht (1547–1625) was mayor of Ulm for seven years. His nephew of the same name Albrecht (1605–1681) later held the same office. The same goes for Hans Ulrich (1630–1707) from 1689 to 1707 and Albrecht Friedrich (1679–1756) from 1734 to 1738. Later, after the former imperial city of Ulm was incorporated into Bavaria in 1802 and then into Württemberg, the wealthy family joined the royal Bavarian family and royal Württemberg services, in which individual members also distinguished themselves militarily.
Mid-18th century inherited the Baldinger of the related with it, now extinct line and Holzschwang Ulm Roth family the good Holzschwang , but sold it shortly afterwards to the Ulmer patrician family Neubronner .
